Zuzanna Horowska, BACP

Zuzanna Horowska is a counsellor with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, which she uses as the foundation for a humanistic integrative practice. Zuzanna focuses on listening closely and helping people make sense of what they feel and how past experiences shape present responses.

She works from a relational stance that pays attention to thinking, sensing, intuiting and feeling. Zuzanna notices patterns in how people relate to others and how that affects self-esteem, anxiety and stress. Her sessions aim to build a steady therapeutic relationship where clients can speak without judgement.

Her approach draws on psychodynamic ideas, object relations and transactional analysis, alongside Gestalt influences and some body-based exercises. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often shortened to EMDR, when appropriate. Cognitive behavioural techniques are available as practical tools if they fit a client's needs.

Zuzanna has experience supporting people facing trauma and abuse, panic attacks, relationship difficulties, caregiver stress and the psychological impacts of cancer. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems and life purpose.

In sessions she may introduce creative activities or short tasks between meetings to help people practise new ways of coping. The aim is to help clients feel calmer, communicate more clearly and build confidence to move forward.

To begin a therapeutic conversation she asks people to reflect on what they need and to take small steps toward change, guided by a collaborative and respectful relationship.

EMDR and integrative approaches for online care

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is a method that helps people process distressing memories by pairing focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation. It is often used for trauma, panic and memories that keep causing strong emotional reactions.

Alongside EMDR, Zuzanna works from an integrative humanistic perspective that pays attention to feelings, bodily sensations and relationship patterns. She may also use short cognitive behavioural techniques or creative exercises to help people practise new skills between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods suit each person's needs. This is a collaborative process and may change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow quieter, focused conversations during a break from work. They also make it simpler to continue therapy when circumstances change, while the therapist and client decide how best to work together.
